Volumizing Leave-In Conditioner Review

My hair is having its annual summer identity crisis: Chlorine and salt water leave my hair feeling dry while hot (especially humid) weather leaves my limps falling flat.

Hoping for a quick fix, I recently picked up a bottle of Tigi Bed Head Superstar Volumizing Leave-in Conditioner.

Superstar Leave-In Conditioner promises to condition your hair while adding volume and light hold. Sounds perfect, but does it work?

For the most part, this volumizing leave-in conditioner does what it says it will do. Superstar Leave-In Conditoner lightly hydrates and detangles hair while leaving it with a nice shine.

And though it doesn’t provide the same level of volume as products designed specifically to add volume to hair, this slightly sticky leave-in conditioner does provide enough hold to give your hair a little extra oomph (especially if you blow dry it).

This leave-in conditioner, however, has one potential deal-killer: the smell. While some might find the strawberry scent to be sweet and yummy, I think it smells too fake and borders on being over-powering.

This comes as a bit of disapointment because I’m actually a fan of the styling products in Tigi’s Superstar line, none of which have the same scent as this leave-in conditioner.

The bottomline? If you’re looking for a good volumizing/conditioning multi-tasking hair product, you may want to consider this leave-in conditioner. Just make sure you smell before you buy ; )

Tigi Bed Head Superstar Volumizing Leave-in Conditioner is available for about $17 from stores or for $11.66 from Amazon.com

Have you tried Bed Head Superstar Volumizing Leave-In Conditioner? What do you think of it?

    My hair has become dry too in this summer and I’m looking for a good conditioner. I’ll surely keep your words in mind — too smells it before buying.

    Hi Keira, Sharon, and Julie: If you ladies end up smelling and/or buying this conditioner, please be sure to come back and give an update! I’m really curious to hear what others think of the scent : )

    I love strawberry scents!
    Right now I’m using Tigi S Factor Color Savvy Shampoo and Conditioner (the sulfate free stuff).
    I’d been using Paul Mitchel’s Super Skinny Serum (smells like apples) after I washed my hair and before I blow dried to help style my hair. Now that my hair seems to be in pretty good shape, I was thinking this might be nice to use after I wash my hair to add a bit of volume.
    I couldn’t find it at my Publix, so I ordered it on Amazon and it should be here in a few days and I’ll be happy to let you know what I think!

    I normally like Strawberry scents too (like the Strawberry products from The Body Shop), but this one just smelled a bit too fake to me.

    But I can’t wait to hear what you think of it (and I hope you love it : )!

    I actually really like it! I’ve washed my hair more than normal in the last few days because of it. I even blogged about it :>

    Awesome! That’s too funny about washing your hair more than normal…I totally do that too when I fall in love with a new product!

    I’ll be sure to stop by and read your review, too : )
